Question

Im still learning to deploy websites and i got an dev intership on a company, despite they dont have an dev. So I created an frontend on angular and the backend on node.js, its working and sending the data to mongodb. My question is how do i deploy the site online? I wanted to try amplify and could deploy the frontend, but i dont know how to connect it to my backend, also about the data I tried to create an exemple of what the data would look like on amplify but it doesnt have an object or array type, the data would be something like that:

key: string;
tableName: string;
debito: {
masterCard: { valor: number },
visa: { valor: number },
outros: { valor: number },
}

can I deploy my front and backend together on amplify? and can i store the data exactly the way my code is making or if i dont, can i still use another db like mongo?

Hi @GustavoMFS 👋 , thanks for reaching out. Have you looked at our getting started guide for full-stack deployments: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amplify/latest/userguide/deploy-backend.html?

Also, since your backend is built with Node.js you will need to setup an API of some sort to interact with your mongo db database from the frontend. For better assistance, I am going to transfer this issue to the amplify-js repository.
